The audio amps in Magnavox consoles are well regarded in the tube audio world. Someone in the AK tube audio forum will probably recognize the likely model of audio amp you have, and may have schematics or know what those resistors should be.

As mentioned above, the filter caps in that amp probably have a short. And will need replacing.

I thought that by the mid 50's that the rects were going selenium?
That's true mostly in "hot chassis" sets, but sets with power transformers kept the rectifier tubes longer.

This amp looks quite similar to yours. And the resistors look readable. Both 100 ohms

If that doesn't load, see the bottom of the thread:
